Who's stupid idea is that? Is hdparm going to be modified so that it is still usable with ATA drives that identify themselves as /dev/sdx? "How are the two harddisks connected?" Like normal, jumpered master, using the end connector. "When testing opensuse 10.2, I suppose you put the media into the pioneer dvd-rw, right? It's the only optical device. "What kind of massaging do you need to get 10.1 working?" I enter a driver parameter that makes no sense, so the kernel does not attempt to load the driver during boot. Once the system is running, I remove the parameter from modprobe.conf, then "modprobe it821x" which loads, and recognizes the two hard drives. Subsequent reboots are done with no issues. If I install an updated kernel, and don't add the nonsense parameter to modprobe.conf, the next reboot will lock the system when it tries to load the driver.
